Is Rush quoting a Rush song? "Distant Early Warning"?

It replays each of the days,
A hundred years of routines.
Bows its head and prays,
To the mother of all machines.

Cordially,
Rush

just sneaked in here, and it reminded me on some problem with my BOINC under Linux: Is there a way to tell the BOINC manager where to place the WUs? I mean to another partition than "/home"? Last weekend I again had to stop my Linux crunching BOINC because the WUs filled the entire home-partition. :(

Good question.
If I ran Linux, I might be able to answer. Anyone else running it on Linux, though?

Related question: If you do not have a 'Net connection for a while, the manager shows nothing under the project tab and no WUs under the task tab. Is it still crunching at the time, or is nothing going on when you have no 'Net connection? If so, why? The connection should only be needed to download WUs and upload results, correct?

If you are not attached to a project or do not have ant WUs showing, then there is nothing to crunch - your BOINC manager will be idle. Apart from trying to download WUs from a non-present network link (unless you set the option to stop it trying to use a network connection).

Lack of network connection will not stop your BOINC Manager Crunching. There are some things that will, including lack of disk space and lack of available memory, both of which have parameters in each projects 'General settings'.

Example:
BOINC is crunching while I am connected to a LAN at home.
I shut down, go to a coffee shop, fire the laptop back up. Sometimes the wireless networks available in the area are either down or it is not easy to connect to them.
Yet, when I have no wireless connection, if I open the BOINC manager, I do not see it working on the WUs it was working on 10-20 minutes earlier. Nothing shows under the project or tasks tabs when I do not have a connection.

There are only two explanations I can think of;

1. You are having a strange dream.

2. The reason you can't see the project or WUs is because the BOINC Manager has not finished opening up yet. Your network connections are such that your BOINC manager is going to sit there trying to open your networks connections, or some processing relating to lack of network connection, and will not continue with the next step of opening up, which is displaying all the things about your project and WUs that it should display.

I think you need to get your network settings sorted out. (For both 1 and 2 above.) Make sure your Advanced-options-connections/HTTP proxy etc settings in BOINC Manager are OK

Nope, no strange dreams. Any time I bother to check it, it has happened every time.
In the cases where the wireless network is available, it seems part of the issue is that sometimes when I boot up, BOINC starts before the wireless does and other times, the reverse.

Try starting up BOINC Manager when you have no connection, and Click on "Activity", then select "Network activity suspended". This should do the trick (although you will need a network connection and reset this back to "Network activity based on preferences" to upload/download.) This will allow you to crunch when no network is present.

1) Set preferences with the manager, not on the websites.
2) Be able to select more than one WU at a time you wish to suspend work on or resume work on.

I'm sure I'll have more ideas.
Anybody else have ideas?
Or contrary thoughts to the two I have already listed?

If we get a good list, how should we bring it to the attention of those who could create/distribute an update?

isn't that what the wish list is for? I doubt they would really listen to us...

Wish list

It seems possible that the first was listened to. In any case, we've got it now.
So, developers, how about the second?
In fact, in v.5.10.7, why can we not scroll through the projects on the main tab or through the WUs under the task tab?
